“To deal with abuse by a partner, we must look at the whole situation first. That helps us choose the right criminal charges before going to court.”
“Madam Speaker, I completely agree. My colleague’s riding has a very long name. I had to practise saying it many times before today. To answer my colleague’s question about coercive control, I think that, once again, it is important to recognize all the circumstances that lead to this type of intimate partner violence. As a frontline worker, I often met with people who would tell me a bit about their situation, and I think that before laying charges, it is absolutely essential to understand the full situation. Again, that is to determine the most appropriate charges to lay before the case is brought before the court.”
